Just took the Citrix XP admin course and the instructor says that there are
no gains by setting the ica client to 256 colors.

He said the ICA protocol/Client/Display Virtual Channel is optimized for
High Color.  So he said that if you are going over a slow link setting
colors to 256 is the wrong thing to do.

Can anyone out there confirm this?

Thanks.
